"Then..." Xuan Qingzhu also crossed his hands on the table, looked at Xiang Nan seriously, and said, "Mr. Xiang Ru, with your talent, whether you are loyal to Haotian or Jiuxiao, it is not a wise man choose."
"You know, Haotian's power is weak, and Jiuxiao has been weak for a long time. These two teacups will sooner or later be in my Tianxuanzong's pocket."
"It's better to rely on me now than to be subdued by me in the future."
Xiang Nan laughed.
That Xuan Qingzhu lowered his head to make tea, looked at Xiang Nan indifferently, and said, "Could it be that Mr. Xiang Ru thinks we don't have this ability?"
Xiang Nan said with a smile: "You're thinking wrong, I'm neither the tea for people to drink, nor the teacup for people to knead, I'm the teapot."
"I'm just a bystander, and my role is just to give tea and teacups a chance to set off each other."
"I can even say that." Xiang Nan leaned forward and said, "I am a teapot, so if I give it, you will have it. If I don't give it, you won't have it."
"What a big tone." Xuan Qingzhu nodded and said, "Mr. Xiang Ru's ambition is admirable."
"However, I am curious about one thing. You have always shown obvious hostility towards our Tianxuanzong. Why is that?"
"Could it be that I have offended Tianxuanzong? That's why you don't want to take refuge?"
Xiang Nan took over the teacup that was cracked by Xuanqingzhu, and said, "It's just the way of Tianxuanzong's way of doing things, which makes me disagree."
Xiang Nan caressed the cracks and said, "The body of a half-demon will kill many innocent people. I know very well that the price of cultivating this body is the souls of many ordinary people."
Xuan Qingzhu sighed: "I thought Mr. Xiang Ru should be a person with vision and great ideals, but it turned out to be nothing more than a woman's benevolence."
"Those who achieve great things don't care about small details. If you look at the kings of the past, there is no one whose hands are not stained with the blood of innocent people."
"For the sake of the overall situation, some necessary sacrifices are inevitable."
"You talk to me about the way of the king?" Xiang Nan shook his head: "Then I will talk to you about the way of the king."
"You say I'm short-sighted, but in fact I have a longer-term vision than you."
"How willing do you think the kings of the world are to practice benevolent government? Are they naturally kind-hearted? Or do they need such a false name to decorate their reputation?"
"I'm afraid neither."
"Oh? I would like to hear the details." Xuan Qingzhu said.
Xiang Nan held the teacup and said, "Just like the cracks on this teacup, the cost of being an informal hero is too high."
"Perhaps practicing benevolent government is not as fast and more rewarding as being a hero, but at least implementing benevolent government does not cost much."
"What I call cost is the crack on the teacup."
"From a long-term perspective." Xiang Nan stared at Xuan Qingzhu seriously, and said, "If you do this now, you can indeed grow rapidly, but you have also planted a deep hidden danger for yourself."
"Because when you sacrifice others without mercy, you don't know who you offended, and you don't know who among these people you offended will bring you disasters in the future. This is your hatred cost."
"It's very interesting, let's go on." Xuan Qingzhu said.
Xiang Nandao: "Perhaps you have unintentionally sacrificed a small person who seems insignificant to you, but this small person may become a big shot with hands and eyes in the future. It is your 'informality' that forced this big shot into the hostile camp. .”
"You Tianxuanzong are like this teacup. In the end, its destruction is not because of dripping water, but because you pinch it too hard, so it will break."
"Destroy yourself. There are countless precedents in history for this kind of thing."
Xuan Qingzhu said proudly: "I have to admit that you are indeed thinking very far, but not far enough."
"You have only seen the growth of the hero and the hidden dangers buried, but there is another way to go to the next level."
"The talents of the world are all in my hands, and those who have the ability to deal with us are already ours."
"As for those who want to deal with us, they have already been destroyed by us, or... are on the way to be destroyed."
"Really?" Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Is it true that all the talents in the world have been included in Tianxuanzong? How dare you boast so much."
Xuan Qingzhu said: "In the world of martial arts, martial arts should be respected, so let's talk about martial arts talents."
"Three of the Southern Seven Tigers with the highest voice and the strongest potential have been classified into the Tianxuan Sect, and two of them have been classified into the Feiyun Sect."
"Of the seven tigers, we already have two. I believe I have the ability to let the other two join us. Or, I can directly turn the seven tigers of the Southern Region into the five tigers of the Southern Region."
Xiang Nan shook his head with a smile, and said, "I'm sorry to send you off."
That Xuan Qingzhu stood up and said: "It seems that I can't reach a consensus with Mr. Xiang Ru."
"It's your choice, and you will have to pay dearly for your high cost."
Xuan Qingzhu lightly tapped the edge of the teacup with her fingertips, then she turned and left.
After three seconds, the teacup shattered into a table full of powder with a bang.
The moment Xuan Qingzhu pushed the door and left, Xiang Nan picked up the teapot to make tea for himself, and said lightly: "Although the seven tigers are strong, there are dragons above the seven tigers."
The figure of Xuan Qingzhu paused for a moment, then disappeared into a ray of blue light.
Above the seven tigers, there are dragons.
These words have been echoing in Xuan Qingzhu's mind.
Who is this dragon referring to
The next day, at noon, look at the clock tower of Star City.
Today's Wangxing City is still overcrowded, but today's bystanders have become orderly.
Because tickets were sold openly here, before the sect qualifying match started, this city for watching the qualifying match had already started its duty.
The ring of buildings that continuously spread to high places has become an auditorium.
Everyone knows that today is the fifth question for Xuan Qingzhu and the Nine Princesses. After this question, it will be clear who wins and who loses.
Countless people bustlingly stood at their positions, all looking at the Xuanqing Bamboo above the bell tower, and the flying clouds and Liuhai.
Today's Xuan Qingzhu came very early.
After noon, Xiang Nan and Princess Nine arrived late.
But when Xiang Nan arrived, there was thunderous applause from the audience.
They are looking forward to what kind of surprise performance this young man, who has always been good at making miracles, can bring to everyone this time.
"Elder Qingzhu, let's come to the appointment." Xiang Nan stood still in the air.
That Xuan Qingzhu said lightly: "I will give you one last chance to give up this bet, otherwise you will lose completely."
Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Thank you, Elder Qingzhu, for your kind reminder, please come up with a question."
"Enough courage." Xuan Qingzhu nodded.
She pointed down and said: "The continent you are standing on is called Jiuxiao, and it is the sacred place of martial arts in the minds of warriors in the Southern Region."
"And the city you are in is called Wangxing, and it was also specially built for martial arts."
"So the fifth question I give you is about martial arts."
